If there was a "best" r/c brand all the others would be out of business.

It is best to compare specific vehicles within a specific class. All companies make some great and some not so great vehicles.

the traxxas bandit is the best 2wd. plus you can get wheelie bar 3.3 traxxas s-maxx wheelie brushless vxl wheelie fastest car ever t-maxx racer offroad jato 2.5r traxxas tq3 what the heck bateries do i put in this thing traxxas doesnt work with AA's steve slayden traxxas.com surfers rides LOL forum no help support in india no speky engrish best poll ever thread.

redcat has the best race cars, and himoto cars are not designed very well at all.

Ofna really designs great cars too.

oh, and the best batteries for electric cars are Duracell AA's. They are even faster if you stuff them down your pants and charge then at 25 amps.

that was funny [sm=lol.gif]

But how does anyone really answer thequestion, "what is the best......"?
Generally it seems the majority of people around here included little to no critieria of what this "best" item is supposed to do for them. It is just supposed to be "the best", plain and simple As mentioned above, if something was the best, everyone else around them would go out of business.

It's all a matter of personal opinion, there is no "best" one.

Since when did Ofna buy Tamiya?? So you own a Ofna Nitrage?
